Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication node (1) comprising an antenna arrangement (2) that is adapted to radiate at least one radiation beam (3, 4, 5; 6, 7, 8) of a first type and at least one radiation beam (9) of a second type. Said at least one radiation beam (3, 4, 5; 6, 7, 8) of the first type has a first type beamwidth (BT1) ) and said at least one radiation beam (9) of the second type has a second type beamwidth (BT2) that exceeds the first type beamwidth (BT1). Said at least one radiation beam (3, 4, 5; 6, 7, 8) of the first type is arranged for communication with at least a first other node (10, 11), and where said at least one radiation beam (9) of the second type is arranged for detection of changes in propagation paths for said other node (10, 11) and/or appearances of further other nodes.
